Baby on Board: Gender Reveal & Showers

When I found out I was pregnant, my husband and I had just booked our late honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas. What timing, so after cancelling and postponing the trip a little longer we went straight into baby mode. I was so excited for this new chapter in our lives to begin and tried not to get my hopes up that our baby would be a girl! We found out our due date would be in December YIKES! We already have my birthday, my brothers, my moms, my best friends and Christmas $$$ looks like we'll be putting a little more into our December fund this year. I already knew I wanted to do a gender reveal party, and as it approached I could barley contain my eagerness!

 

The cake is from Crème De La Crème Bakery in Riverside, CA.

 

I couldn't believe we were actually going to have a girl! My whole family is filled with boys, I thought I might never get a girl. I couldn't be happier. Chase was hoping for a boy of course, so instantly the dreams of a hunting buddy vanished. In came the bows, pink stuff and all things girly! Hip-Hip Hooray! Now we're just praying the next one will be a boy!

 

 

My mom, Christine and I made these invitations for the shower, it was by far the cutest we had come across and although they did take some time and effort we loved the way they turned out. After sending them, we got so many calls with compliments on the invites! We purchased the template from zoocutieprintables on Etsy for $12.00, and the sparkle paper and ribbon along with the other supplies came from Michaels.

 

 

Pass the prize was the best game at the shower. We made up the last few lines since we couldn't find any online that we liked. The game was fun and it gave all our guests something to talk about.
